Kerala has in recent times become the most enchanting holiday destination for families, tourists and individual travelers. Holiday makers arrive from all over the world to this destination every year.
The state offers luxury as well as budget accommodation all over but a new dimension in Kerala package tourism has emerged in recent times. The concept of home stay accommodation allows the traveler to experience Kerala from a different perspective. Kerala homestays let you mingle with the host and the family leading a close cultural interaction and provides a learning process for better understanding of the society, local tradition, cuisine, and community.
Apart from being economical the homestay accommodation is an experience of the hospitality and warmth of people of Kerala. It is far removed from the monotonous dwelling and seclusion of the closed four walls of a hotel room. Thus Kerala home stays are not akin to bed and breakfast accommodation, but on the contrary offer the comfort of Malayalee hospitality and warmth.
Kerala homestay accommodation is available at many different levels of service. It definitely does not offer upscale amenities of five star hotels but the rich experience a traveler gets is much more than the comfort of the luxury accommodation.
